Reas. 1 1. Hereby the heart comes to be humbled, when it considers that 'tis God which appeareth against him,1 not devils nor men, but God, that God upon whom I live and enjoy every mercy that I have; this it was that troubled Christ, more than all the wrong which the Scribes and Pharisees did to him, when he considered that it was His God, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? When the Saints see Gods hand against them in any thing, this troubles them and humbles them more than any thing else.

- 1It humbleth.
Reas. 2 2. It is a special means to quiet the heart with patience, Psal. 39.9.1 I was dumb and spake not, because thou Lord didst it. See it in Ely, It is the Lord, let him do what he will with me: and in Christ himself, shall not I drink of the cup which my ⟨p. 507⟩father shall give me? Is God my God, and doth this come from my Father? I will take it, I am sure it will do me no harm but much good.
